I met Heather a few years ago when we first launched our line—we were both at a selling event at PlayArts for their holiday market. I was so taken with her children’s shoes and couldn’t believe that she actually handcrafted them!

I was so excited to get to know her better, hear about her career and life as a working mom, and see inside her beautiful studio. She’s an inspiring solo-preneur balancing motherhood and ethical manufacturing here in Philadelphia. Read more about her path...

I was amazed at the design community she'd created, and her space quickly became one of my favorite gallery night stops—not only because of her beautiful space but also because of her vivacious personality. We caught up recently at an art opening, and after talking about a large scale piece her and her partner Paul were creating, I knew we had to take some photos of her working on the project.

I first became familiar with Elise's work by seeing it at local shops like my favorite spot for groceries, Riverwards Produce. I was very excited to get a tour of Elise's gardens and learn more about her path to herbology.

We came across Anna Núñez's Instagram late last year and immediately fell in love with her classic style and beautiful design work. After following along with her travels to Montreal, Paris and Nashville, and admiring her hand-drawn branding concepts and illustrations, we decided to get to know this Voloshin woman a little better.
